Video: Wounded Pa. Trooper 'Fine' After Gun Battle

The Pennsylvania trooper who was wounded in a dynamic entry in Latrobe on Friday is expected to fully recover, the agency has announced.

Gunfire from Scott Murphy, 46, struck Trooper Brian King as he and other members of the Pennsylvania State Police Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) attempted to enter a second-floor window of a house on Lloyd Avenue.

Troopers attempted the entry before noon on Friday, after communications broke down with Murphy. After reaching the window, the troopers were met with a barrage of gunfire. Two rounds from Murphy struck King twice—one in the ballistic helmet and the second to the face shield of his gas mask. The officers returned fire, and Murphy was found dead later with multiple gunshot wounds.

King underwent surgery for an eye injury and returned home Monday. He's "going to be fine," a state police public information officer told the Post-Gazette.

The standoff began at about 7 p.m. Thursday, when state police surrounded the home. Police convinced two men to exit the house, but Murphy remained inside. Murphy was a suspect in an armed robbery at Precision Care Pharmacy of oxycodone pills.

Murphy's girlfriend, 25-year-old Julian Upholster, has been charged with robbery and firearms violations after police said she stole guns from her roommate and gave them to Murphy, reports the Post-Gazette.

The K-9 with the DeKalb County (GA) Police Department shot during a gunfight at a traffic stop was released from a veterinary hospital on Saturday. Indi lost an eye during the confrontation, but is expected to otherwise recover.

The shooting prompted a five-hour-long standoff with Trevino, who was barricaded inside the home. The standoff ended at 6:15 p.m. when police found Trevino dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the house.

Officers learned that the shooting suspect, a 56-year-old woman, inside the home and refused to surrender to police custody. After several hours of negotiating, police sent in K-9 Gabo. The woman reportedly opened fire on the dog and hit him.

Authorities reported Friday that the Ventura County Sheriff’s sergeant killed during the mass shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in October was struck by "friendly fire" during the firefight with the gunman.

The DEA confirms the task force officer was reported missing some time after the completion of an overnight law enforcement operation. Following a search, the officer was located and transported to a nearby hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
